Normal Flower Power

There are small patches of decorative plantings around Normal. Today, I noticed the one on the southeast corner of Raab Rd. and Main St. It’s a wonderful collection of dark purple and pink flowering plants (at least, that’s what I saw from a distance). If I weren’t photographically challenged, I would go around town taking pictures of these plantings. I just wanted to mention them because I do appreciate their beauty and the fact that Normal has people planting and maintaining them. When you are driving around Normal, take time to notice and appreciate these colorful oases (even if you can’t literally stop and smell the flowers).
